It takes a lot to get your work out to your public and for sale. Or to get ready for a show or Festival. You have spent hours creating your original ideas, your finances are tapped with endless cost of supplies and then you have to make a decision to frame your work.
It usually stops there. Framing is where most artists stop investing in themselves and go the cheapest route possible. Or try to stuff their work into "standard sized" frames because that is what the big box stores will sell at 70% off! Nothing looks more inviting than a beautiful original or print in a mat that has three different sized borders, in a frame that every other artist has purchased for their work.....not!
